ceres gallery opening
Our Ceres Gallery opening was absolutely amazing! The December group art show in Chelsea, NYC was a great finish to my 2010 exhibition schedule. Here is the flood of photos:
I put in three oil paintings, all done on hand cut wood. The shape of each painting directly relates to its theme. A bicycle sprocket supports "popo", a narrative with two mountain bikes taken on a joy ride. A heraldic shield is the template for "bull", a coat of arms interpretation. A circle encompasses the "ambassador of desert warfare", enhancing the feeling of a radiating hot sun.
As the main exhibiting artists we had the pleasure of inviting the people who inspire us to show a piece of their art in the adjacent gallery room.

chelsea nyc debut
Three realist (and surrealist) women. Three expressionist men. I am incredibly excited to announce a group art show at the Ceres Gallery in Chelsea, NYC. I along with five unique artists are debuting "The New American Art Show: the best new contemporary art of our time." This is a big deal.
Back in June 2010 we participated in "The New American Art Show" at Jadite Galleries, in nyc. This was a preview to our upcoming Chelsea event, organized by John C. Kuchera the director of American Art Gallery.
This painting is one of the three I am putting in the show.
"Sunlit memories create a reality, adorning it with courage and curiosity."

SOLD dolls and balls
I just recently sold the original oil painting "Dolls and Balls" !! This piece was the last piece painted in my surf series. It is by far one of people's favorites from that collection, so its only natural that she has found herself a new home. I am very happy and excited. A big 'thank you' and 'congratulations' to the painting's new owner (a very cool lady by the way).
It is a humbling experience when someone connects with your personal art on a philosophical, aesthetic, and an emotional level. You get this mutual understanding and contentedness. I like it!

I still have the mini fishboards of this piece for sale, so no worries. I will be making more of them, and they will be included in my (very near) future online store.

coroflot.com feature
Twice this year my work was featured on Coroflot, a great online platform for design portfolios, as well as jobs in the creative field. There are some amazing artists and designs on there!
Back in February 8, 2010 "Our Lady of Low Tide" landed herself a spot in the member gallery under industrial design, and now in November 17 "Bull" received recognition. It feels nice to get some love from fellow creatives. Thank you.

crest in progress
I got back to this piece and it is going in a new direction, which is a bit more time consuming, but nonetheless exciting. You can compare it to its starting phase in the photo below. It looks quite different, huh?
I don't think magazines will go out of style, there is something about holding and bending the real thing.
